Immortal Venerable Cubs Manual II [Quick Transmigration]

Si Xingjian knew that the emperor asked how to deal with these corrupt local officials, but what he answered was how to solve the problem of the emptiness of the treasury.

Since Si Xingzheng has already started to investigate, it means that he naturally intends to liquidate it, it just depends on how far it will be counted.The reason why Si Xingzheng went to war like this was because he was short of money.

Nowadays, salt and iron are monopolized by the imperial court, and the control is very strict.Those who smuggle salt and iron may be sentenced to death by hanging.

The annual salt tax can reach one-third of the national fiscal revenue, and even half at the highest.

As for tea, only a few literati drink it now, and it has not become a favorite drink for both princes and nobles or traffickers.

If tea is made into a national drink and tea becomes a daily necessity like salt, then the imperial court will be able to earn a considerable amount of income.

And tea is different from salt.

No matter how fine the salt is, it can sell for two taels of silver at most, and some teas can be "fried" into high-end brands.

This "fried" not only refers to the production process, but also hype.

Some teas are indeed scarce, but in addition to the value of the commodity itself, the price can also be made much higher than the value through marketing.

The tea industry has made huge profits, so the corresponding taxes will naturally be considerable.

Si Xingjian did not explain in detail, but only mentioned a few sentences casually.

But as an emperor, Si Xingzheng is not without brains, he is keenly aware that there is a lot of profit in it.

"It's just that you have to eat salt, but this tea..."

It seems dispensable.

Si Xingjian said: "The emperor has a thin waist, and most of them starved to death in the palace."

The emperor's contemporary spokesperson, who else would not buy it?

Hearing his somewhat disrespectful words, Si Xingzheng not only didn't blame him, but laughed happily.

Si Xingzheng seemed to have seen the day when the national treasury was full and the army was strong and food was sufficient.

He is an ambitious emperor, many things are not because he does not want to do, but because he has no money.

Moreover, since he knew in advance that tea can be profitable, he must first buy a few tea gardens.

In order to fill the hole left by the former emperor, he filled in his internal treasury, and now he can finally enrich his purse.

Si Xingzheng was in a very happy mood, not only approved King Chen's leave, but also rewarded a lot of good things, and promised: "I will give you a few tea gardens then."

Although I already have an idea, it is not that the emperor ordered "all give me tea" to make tea popular all over the country.

It takes time to brew, and it may take a year or two to see results, or even longer.

It may be three or five years later when the planting of tea reaches a large scale and the tea industry rises.

Three to five years is not a long time even for merchants building new industries, let alone for the imperial court. As the king of a country, Si Xingzheng can afford to wait.

What's more, this was originally a windfall.

Knowing that he is about to make a big fortune, Si Xingzheng has more confidence in his heart.

Some things can start to plan slowly...

Si Xingjian was not worried that she would be suspected.

He never deliberately maintained the original owner's personality.

As for his performance being too good, he would be feared by the monarch... Playing stupid is too difficult for him.Moreover, he has no covetous heart for the throne, and is frank and frank, so he is not afraid of the other party's spying.

If the emperor wanted to kill, he also had the means to protect the palace.

After Si Xingjian left the palace, she accompanied Zai Zai to sell dandelions.

This is what Zai Zai has been talking about for a few days.

The little man solemnly handed over a basket of dandelions to the shopkeeper, and stretched out his hands expectantly, waiting for the shopkeeper to give him money.

He's about to make money!

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy put three copper coins in his palm.

This was the first time Si Anzhen touched the copper plate.

He doesn't need to go shopping by himself. In the past, the gifts given to him by his elders were mostly gold and silver anklets, jade pendants, and the like. Even his lucky money was made of gold leaves, so he never touched copper coins.

Holding three copper coins in his hand, he happily asked, "How much silver can this be exchanged for?"

The people in the pharmacy laughed when they heard his words, and sighed in their hearts: It really is the young son of the rich family.

Si Xingjian didn't answer either, he picked up Zai Zai and left the pharmacy.

"You can go and try what these three copper plates can buy."

Si Anzhen folded the copper plate in his palm, shook his head and said, "No, I want to save the money."

Si Xingjian: What can these three copper coins be used for?

He couldn't just say it outright to pour cold water on Zai Zai, who was on the rise, so he turned a corner and persuaded: "Aren't you still planning to grow dandelions? You must know the market in advance."

Zai Zai collected dandelion seeds, wrapped them in a handkerchief worth several taels of silver, and put them on the antique shelf together with Wenwan treasures.

Si An was moved: "Then I'll just ask, and not spend the money...Go and see how many buns I can buy!"

He pointed to the bun shop beside him.

Si Xingjian walked over.

Si Anzhen stretched out his hand cautiously, and asked in a very proud tone: "Uncle, how many buns can I buy here?"

The uncle teased him cheerfully: "That depends on whether you want meat buns or vegetarian buns?"

"How many meat buns? How many vegetarian buns?" Si An tilted his head.

It turns out that the prices of meat buns and vegetarian buns are different.

"Meat buns cost two renminbi each, and vegetarian buns cost three renminbi. Will the little boy count? How many buns can you buy for three renminbi?"

Si An turned his big black eyes twice, and after knowing that the money in his hand was only worth two buns, and it was plain buns, he looked at his father in disbelief, and asked, "Is this really three pennies?" ? Is the three pennies very little?"

He doesn't know whether buns are expensive, but he knows that two buns are only enough for him to eat for one meal.

So, he dug up dandelions for several days, just to give him a meal.And in order to be full and strong, he ate several more buns in those days.

"Wooooow..."

He lost a lot of buns!

"Daddy... woo woo... Why, didn't you tell An An earlier?"

Si Xingjian: Of course, it is for you to experience it first-hand, so that you will be deeply impressed.

He wiped Zai Zai's tears, and gently persuaded: "This is because the shopkeeper of the pharmacy gave you an extra copper coin because he saw that you were cute."

If it weren't for Zai Zai being a child, and two or three Wen is nothing to the pharmacy, the pharmacy might not even accept this little dandelion.

Si Anzhen stopped crying, and asked in a sobbing voice, "Does the shopkeeper think An An is cute too?"

Si Xingjian: "..."

Is this the point?

The old steamed bun seller didn't know why, seeing this white and tender milk baby crying pitifully, he picked up a meat bun with a lotus leaf in his hand, and persuaded him, "Don't cry, don't cry, the old man will give you a meat bun."

Looking at the clothes of the two people in front of him, he knew that they were either rich or noble, and there was no shortage of meat buns at all. But when he saw the baby crying, he felt unbearable, and he was a little afraid that he would be troubled—it seemed that he put the doll Crying.

Si An turned his face away and blinked his wet eyes.

Was he so likable?

"Thank you, old man." He took out two copper coins and exchanged them for a meat bun.

Si An was holding a copper plate in one hand, and a bun in the other.

He looked left and right, and then sighed deeply—it turns out that money is so hard to earn.

"Daddy eat." He handed the bun over.

Si Xingjian declined politely: "You bought it with the copper coins you earned, or you should taste it alone."

This kind of bun shop sold on the street may taste mediocre.

Unaware of his father's thoughtfulness, Si An took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun with teary eyes.

This is the bun he bought with his own sweat.

He took a bite, and the tears flowed down again.

Woohoo, it's not very tasty.

Si An's previous life was rich and beautiful, and he never hated the food. When he encountered food he didn't like, he would only taste a few bites and then throw it aside.

But it was something he bought with great difficulty, and he was reluctant to throw it away, so he ate it in small bites.

After Si An looked at the full hiccup, he sighed heavily: "Alas!"

Si Xingjian asked with a smile, "Why are you sighing?"

"You can't make money growing dandelions."

"Oh?" Si Xingjian continued to ask with great interest.

In fact, Zai Zai saw that dandelions can be sold for money, so he thought of collecting seeds and planting them himself, which is already a very smart idea.

Si Anzhen clenched his fist and said, "I want to grow tea!"

After listening to the discussion between his father and Uncle Huang, he knew that tea can be sold for a lot of money.

Si Xingjian nodded in praise: "It's a good idea."

"But I don't have tea seeds." Si Anzhen spread his hands.

"You can find a way to buy it. However, dandelion seeds only need to be scattered on the ground, but tea is different. Tea trees have requirements on geology and environment..."

Si An was a little discouraged: "It's such a trouble."

Si Xingjian comforted: "Things are rare and expensive, and things that are too easy to get are worthless."

"What Daddy says always makes sense." Si Anzhen first praised with admiration, and then quickly sighed, "When will An An be like Daddy?"

Si Xingjian laughed: "You are still young, and you have plenty of time to study."

"Then An'an will learn how to grow tea first..." He reached out and stroked his head in the middle of speaking.

"An'an can't think too much, or she will lose her hair."

Si Xingjian said angrily: "Thinking and worrying are two different things, okay?"

He didn't want to teach a little fool who couldn't think.

Royal people, those without brains, mostly don't live long.

After returning to the palace, Si Xingjian found some books related to agriculture for Zai Zai.

He doesn't necessarily want Zai Zai to learn anything, but just wants the children to have some hobbies and learn more common sense.

Even if Zai Zai won't sit in that seat, he doesn't want to see Zai Zai making jokes about "why not eat minced meat".

In addition, he also plans to set up a primary school in the palace, so that among the children of the officials and servants of the palace, there are children of the right age who are eager to learn, and they can accompany the cubs to enlighten and play.

If such a young child has no playmates and is always alone, he will inevitably feel bored.

Although the other children in the palace have different identities from Zai Zai, the children are more simple-minded and can play together.As for the "thick barrier", that is probably after growing up.

When Zai Zai is older, he can go to the academy to study and meet new partners.

Si Xingjian began to find an enlightenment teacher for Zai Zai.

Teaching formally, he was not good at.

After Si Xingzheng heard about it, he asked Xinke Tanhua to go to Prince Chen's mansion for a try.

After Si Xingjian met a few old masters who were old-fashioned and pedantic, when he saw Lin Tanhua, he felt quite satisfied, so he asked Lin Yu to give Zaizai a try to see if Zaizai liked it.

Facing the person who was about to become his enlightenment master, Si Anzhen's attitude was very upright, and he didn't express any dissatisfaction.

But afterwards, he whispered to his father: "Can't Daddy teach An An? Why do you invite someone else to be An An's teacher?"

"Master Lin doesn't teach well?"

"Not bad." Si An pouted and said coquettishly, "But An An likes daddy better."

Si Xingjian was very moved when she heard such heartwarming words, and then said: "Because Daddy doesn't care about An An, he can only let someone else teach him."
